OUR SERVICES

The Government passed a new FDI law in October 2018 which, in the words of His Highness sheikh Mohammed is designed to “open and expand economic sectors, attract new investors and cement global competitiveness of our national economy”.

The UAE attracted $ 15bn of FDI in 2018. The figure for 2019 is likely to be 20% higher than 2018. This an outstanding achievement and is a testament to our wise rulers who created the environment for FDI to flood into the country.

The new FDI law introduced 100% foreign ownership into 122 qualifying activities across 13 sectors. In addition and in an effort to help achieve the Government objectives of significant increases in the level of FDI coming into the country, a new dedicated unit within the Ministry of the economy has been established.

We at Synergate desire to play our part to help the Government and the leadership of the newly established FDI Unit to achieve their objective.
